Car Accidents With Uninsured or Underinsured Drivers

Uninsured Driver Car Accident Attorney NJGetting into a car accident is never a pleasant situation, but thankfully accident insurance is designed to limit the financial repercussions of being involved in a motor vehicle crash. In the state of New Jersey, laws require motorists to carry a very minimal amount of liability insurance to cover the costs of an accident. Unfortunately, this minimum threshold rarely covers the full costs of an accident, and some car owners fail to adhere to insurance laws. What happens when you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist?

Uninsured Drivers

If the driver at fault doesn’t carry any car insurance, then it will be a challenge trying to get compensation from that individual. In many cases, an individual who can’t afford the bare minimum car insurance required by law isn’t likely to be able to pay you even in the event you are successful in receiving a court settlement. You’ll need to consider using your uninsured motorist coverage from your own personal insurance.

Underinsured Drivers

Underinsured drivers don’t carry enough coverage to provide for your full financial needs. It’s usually not immediately apparent whether a motorist is underinsured or not until you have a good understanding of the value of your car accident claim. Once you do realize that the driver at fault is underinsured, you’ll need to inform your insurer and seek an underinsured driver claim through your own insurance.
